Terrible, it's nice to be able to watch the shows, but having to use the app is almost not worth it. Half the time it doesn't even start, then the screen will just stay blue. Also logging in took me 5 tries, as it just didn't work. The "next episode" button is not there and it is not easy to find the next episode, you have to look it all up again for every new episode you want to watch. Casting also works for 1 ep, but the app has to be restarted as it disconnects after every episode.

- the 'my list' funtionality was removed - please bring it back - on android tv , you cannot see the summary/description of a video before starting to watch it (including watching ads) - long term issue, also in previous version, simply add another 'detail' screen in between the list and the viewer. - doesn't remember subtitle toggle - if technically possible, re-enable the sections in the video timeline - annoying ads (political issue)

Can't load any video! Previously the app worked quite ok, although the chromecast integration was not working well all the time.. But since a few weeks it does not load any video anymore, except for the commercials when I am not logged in, these play instantly! I have restarted my S7 and reinstalled the app a few times, without improvement. Considering I have a paid subscription, this app behaves ridiculous and this situation is unacceptable.
